Comments on: Binding Going on the Waimea Slack Key Guitar http://russellguitars.com/rgblog/2009/03/waimea-slack-key-binding/ Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:25:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jefferson Slacker http://russellguitars.com/rgblog/2009/03/waimea-slack-key-binding/comment-page-1/#comment-23 Jefferson Slacker Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:18:57 +0000 http://russellguitars.com/rgblog/?p=115#comment-23 Thanks Jason. Great to hear from you and hear your impressions. I just made my first visit to see the guitar in person yesterday. OMG!!! Unbelievably beautiful. I have to agree with all of your comments. The soundhole design tooks us all a long time to finally think we had it. And then when I saw the mock-up James did, I was sure. Now, seeing it it person... I wouldn't change it at all. James is phenomenal. BTW, I need to thank you Jason for putting us in touch. THANK YOU! I seem to remember some prophetic words to the effect that I would need to be careful, because I would end up needing one of James' guitars. What a great experience this has been! I can't wait to here it sing. Thanks Jason. Great to hear from you and hear your impressions. I just made my first visit to see the guitar in person yesterday. OMG!!! Unbelievably beautiful.

Hope you are well my friend. Your guitar is absolutely stunning. Stopped by the Russell's Sunday and saw it. I think the soundhole design is one of the most beautiful I have seen. Definitely the most elegant double soundhole design I have seen. James is amazing at pulling little details together in his designs. Like the very thin koa purfling that accentuates the sides of the guitar. Gonna be a killer! Jason JEFF!!

He is so nice and unassuming. Doing some really beautiful music. There is a link to the interview on his site. The photos are unbelievable. I just can't wait! I have been trying to be very patient, but I check for new photos constantly. The closer it gets, the tougher it is. I keep having to think about baseball (heh, heh). We have to deliver our tax stuff in Redding next Monday. Will you guys be around and in the shop? I'd love to see it in person! The interview with Julian was quite something.

Yes, Julian is an amazing player and a very sweet guy! You should have heard him at age six! :) I wish I had heard the NPR interview; I'll bet I can find it via Julan's site or on the web somewhere. So glad you're enjoying the photos. We hope to see you very soon! Hey, Jeff. Yes, Julian is an amazing player and a very sweet guy!

I love these photos. I just heard the NPR interview with Julian Lage this weekend. An amazing musician and composer. I'm thrilled for the mojo! Thanks for keeping me on the edge of my seat. I can hardly wait to visit. Wow! I love these photos. I just heard the NPR interview with Julian Lage this weekend. An amazing musician and composer. I’m thrilled for the mojo!
